I'm sure it's quite lovely...

I'm in Penticton, BC right now. I wish I could say that I'm enjoying the scenery of the Okanagan Valley, but we didn't see anything during our late-night drive from Vancouver (in which we experienced just about every kind of weather and road conditions imaginable - except for sunshine, of course - and delays due to construction - after midnight, no less!) Today, it's foggy and I can't even see the nearby mountains. In other words, I'm in Penticton, but I have yet to see any of it. I'm sure it's quite lovely...

I'm here for a band festival. I play early this afternoon and then it's back in the rental for the return drive to Vancouver. It's too bad, because some of the other band members were telling me about their tour of the observatory yesterday and it sounded amazing (they left for Penticton earlier and are staying longer).

Perhaps it's just as well, though. The slogan on the Penticton website is "A Place to Stay Forever". Being tied to one place forever? That would be torture for me!
